I've been wanting to try making my own- I hear it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Mmmmm! Sounds great.

Do you have any instructions for making a good poached egg? I suck at it.

Yay! I'm a mishling, so we usually celebrate Christmanukkah along similar lines.

I threw together some pasta for me and my boyfriend the other night that turned out really well. He had just come back from a work trip to Italy and said it was as good as anything he had over there, so I was very pleased to hear that!

With Hubbard squashes, I hear the only way to open them is to drop them on the ground (e.g., on to concrete)!

With most kinds of squash, the easiest thing is not to peel it— just cut it in half and roast it as is. You can actually eat the skin if you want (lots of fiber), or just toss it.

For spaghetti squash, the microwave works really well and is super easy. I usually cut the squash and cook it one half at a time- I put it in a dish with a bit of water and some microwave-safe plastic wrap on top, and nuke until the "noodles" come off easily.

Good stuff! I just use a vegetable peeler to make thin zucchini "noodles", and then use those like pasta.

This is my default squash preparation method (which works with pretty much any kind of winter squash):

I think the distinction is that, with an omelet, the egg is folded over the filling, whereas with a frittata everything is all mixed together.

Such a great movie, I need to see that again.

We all *possibly* went to the moon…

I still have all of those things (including the wood-paneled TV), but with a Roku and a multi-region DVD player.

A great pleasure to finally meet you, as well!  And thank you, maybe you'd like to join me for a drink after your shift is over?  (bats eyelashes)

Oh, thank God, it's not just me…

I hope at least some of you have seen the masterpiece that is W.C. Fields' "It's a Gift"!     

I loved it when they briefly tried to pretend he was actually French.
